Microsoft R Client is a free, data science tool for high-performance analytics that you can install on Windows client operating systems. R Client is built on top of Microsoft R Open so you can use any open-source R packages to build your analytics, and includes the R function libraries from Microsoft that execute locally on R Client or remotely on a more powerful Machine Learning Server.

R Client allows you to work with production data locally using the full set of RevoScaleR functions, with these constraints: data must fit in local memory, and processing is capped at two threads for RevoScaleR functions.

Microsoft R Open is the enhanced distribution of R from Microsoft Corporation. It is a complete open source platform for statistical analysis and data science. The current version, Microsoft R Open 3.5.3, is based on (and 100% compatible with) R-3.5.3, the most widely used statistics software in the world.

How to offline install (without internet access)

Warning

Microsoft R Open is a requirement of Microsoft R Client. In offline scenarios when no internet connection is available on the target machine, you must manually download the R Open installer. Use only the link specified in the installer or installation guide. Do NOT go to MRAN and download it from there or you may inadvertently get the wrong version for your Microsoft R product.

On a machine with unrestricted internet access:
1. Download Microsoft R Client from https://aka.ms/rclient/.
2. Download the Microsoft R Open (*.cab) needed to install R Client from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=867186.
3. Download .NET Framework 4.5.2 from https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=42642.

5. Copy the downloaded files to a network share or portable drive.
On the machine with restricted internet access:
1. Log in with administrator privileges.
2. Copy the .cab file and R Client installer from the network share/portable drive on the first machine to the machine that has restricted internet access. Put the CAB files in the setup user's temp folder under %temp%.
3. Copy and install the .NET Framework. Restart your computer if you installed the .NET Framework.
4. Run RClientSetup.exe, which finds the cab file in the temp folder for you.
